The link is a mediafire download, but I will post it anyway: http://www.mediafire.com/file/16269m2ay10hm28/Lost_Temple_of_Heliopolis_Clip.flv

Also, how do the hovers work? The one trick that I can't do is the ID skip and its keeping me from doing routing options

you alternate between holding up and letting the stick go back to neutral, the thing that makes you lose the most height is letting the stick neutral for too long from my experience.

There are 2 "optimal" ways of doing it, for most distance you do 9 frames up and then 2 frames neutral, this wont work for passcard skip tho because for that one you need a lot height. For height you want to do 3 forward 1 neutral.
Thats the TAS frame data, maybe that helps you to get a better idea of the timing you should try to aim for.

This is the angle/position I more or less try to get for it

I jump when i see the bird guard go off screen at the bottom right.

I also usually try to get a running start because it gives you more distance for your first hover, but it also comes with the risk of just falling or losing a lot of height at the very start so it can be kinda dumb.

Passcard skip specifically is just really hard and annoying and the only thing you can really do is grind it in practice, i've probably spend more time practicing that trick then anything else in the game.

This is a Clip of me doing it, maybe it's helpfull

oh for the clip you linked, it looks pretty neat, but i think it's not going to work out with the route:
for lost temple you need the blow pipe, so we cant do it before that really. After blow pipe we currently go and beat cursed palace, which works out well because its pretty close to anubi's temple where we get the blowpipe. After that we get teleported back to the shrine. Currently we do lost temple at that point of the run, so we need a clip from there. You cant do lost temple before getting the blow pipe and we basicly always get teleported back to the shrine after we beat any of the bosses, so i cant really see a way to route your clip in reasonably

So, would you say this is doable through emu with an xbox 360 controller?

its kinda retarded on an xbox 360 controller. The controller takes more than one frame to go neutral, so rip for now

The only way I can get the hovers to keep the height I need is if I am mashing the stick up and I am mashing it like a mad man

well that is the case on GC too, you dont need TAS perfect inputs to make this, but you want to try to get close to that.

ok, I guess I need to grind it a ton then

Do you use any hand techniques to get this to work? Like do you hold the controller a certain way?

not really, i just put my thumb below the stick and keep pushing up
